The sugar percentages in HFCS are routinely expressed as a percentage of the
total *dry solids* of the syrup (which excludes the water).

Sugars in honey are routinely expressed as a percentage of the total weight
(which includes the water).
i.e. The average value of honey is 38.50% fructose with 17.1% water (NHB
figures). This gives a dry weight percentage of fructose (directly
comparable with the HFCS measure) of 46.4%. A honey with 45% fructose (high
but not unusual) and 18% water would be 54.9% fructose.
